If your job involves a patrol car. You may have chosen the nick 'darkangel', but you sound to me as if you might be an angel of light nevertheless. Continue doing good but don't let your guard down. We need all the good angels we can get, here on earth helping out. Bless you.

Is this an okay time to share a quick story about something that happened in NYC when I lived there? During a terrible blizzard, a couple of patrolmen checking a backstreet dead end alley found an abandoned newborn baby who was still alive for one reason only. A starving German Shepherd had curled up around the child to protect it. I don't need to tell you what many a starving dog would've done. The patrolmen tried to coax the dog into the car but it jumped up and limped away. I'll never forget that dog and can't help wondering just a little if it might've been 'more than just a dog'.
